Thanks guys for all the comments - sounds like "be careful" is the primary thing.....I really like the "egg under gas pedal" analogy.
As fate would have it, I got a call from work today ( I had booked the day off to put the finishing touches on the car - remount the battery, remove the radio and reinstall accent tubes, adjust shifter, etc, etc).
So, it's out of town for the next 10 days......the wait for my first drive continues......
